    I got my HD to work and HD Loader.

    I was wondering can I switch from 1 game to another without having to push reset or reload HD Loader?

    Thanks

    Would be cool if you could exit back to HDL but the PS2 just doesnt work like that. Maybe a PS2 HDLoader for PS3 that allows you to play PS2 games from the PS3 HD using PS2 emulation would allow you to exit back to the HDL menu... I think I'm getting a bit too far ahead lol!

    yes, but only the bit that tells the ps2 that hdd0: is Cdfs: (well as far as i know ny way)

    but i dont think the whole app stays in memory, and also, STOP BEING LAZY, get up and press the reset button - Jeez, (or use dorbell mod)

    I mean, how much are u swiching games !!!, plus the controller cord is like 2m long, thats not far to go, comon

    Yes it is removed from memory... I'm not sure to what extent... as mode 3 is supposed to remove hdl from memory... so maybe it's not always removed? And if you have a V9 and up console you can turn it on/off via remote...
